Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Brew two fresh shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes, ensuring the glass is about 3/4 full. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla syrup. Stir or whisk until fully mixed. If you prefer extra sweetness, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and mix until dissolved.
Pour the cooled espresso shots over the ice cubes in the glass, layering carefully for visual appeal.
Slowly pour the milk and cream mixture over the espresso, allowing it to cascade through the ice for a marbled effect.
Stir gently with a straw or spoon to combine, or leave as is for a layered presentation.
Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon. Enjoy your refreshing Iced Cafe Crema!
